¶ The Prayer.
Grant almighty God, seeing thou wilt have us to differ from the brute beasts, and therefore hast grafted in our hearts the light of understanding: that we may learn to know this to be thy singular grace and gift, and that we may reverence and magnify thee for the same, and that we may always exercise our selves in the knowledge of those things which may bring us reverently to regard thy word and thy majesty: and also that we may put such difference betwixt the common sense that thou hast given us, and the light of thy spirit, that thou mayst be glorified: and that we may always especially praise thee for thy gift of faith, whereby we are made thy children engrafted into the body of thy son, and that we may continually crave increase of the same faith of thee, whiles in the end thou do bring us to that full revelation of light, when we being made like thee, shall behold thy glory face to face, and shall have the fruition thereof, through the same our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
